DESCRIPTION
The WINCO rotating field power take-off generators are
designed primarily for hobby/small farm use as a standby
electrical power supply, utilizing the power take-off of a tractor
or truck as the prime mover. This PTO drive generator will
provide 120/240V single phase, 60Hz electrical service when
properly driven.
NOTE: The prime mover which drives the generator must be
capable of delivering approximately 2 HP per 1000 watts output
from the generator. Observe input RPM specifications.
This generator may be mounted in many different fashions.
The three most popular are foundation mounted, trailer mount
or 3-point hitch mounted, for used as a standby or portable
electrical power source. Your application will dictate how you
may want to mount it.
This generator includes a color coded voltmeter to warn against
high or low voltage, two output power receptacles with indi-
vidual circuit breakers for your protection. To reduce mainte-
nance problems, the coupling between the generator input
shaft and rotor consists of precision helical gearing rather than
a chain link drive. The input shaft is a 1 3/8 in. diameter 6
spline shaft.
The factory thoroughly tests each generator before shipment.
All are continuous duty rated.
IMPORTANT: THE MANUFACTURER STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDS RUNNING THE GENERATOR UNDER LOAD AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH IN ORDER TO EVAPORATE ANY
ACCUMULATED MOISTURE CONDENSATION.

UNPACKING
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
DO NOT invert generator during unpacking. The Gearcase
contains oil which will leak out if inverted during unpacking.
Unpack the generator as follows:
1. Remove the carton.
2. Examine the unit for damage.
3. Find the small subpack carton packed in the large carton.
Be careful not to throw away the subpack carton with the
large carton.
4. Open the subpack carton and make sure it contains:
a. Generator instruction manual
b. Load disconnect plug (disassembled, in bag)
5. Remove the four bolts which hold down the generator feet
to the pallet.
6. Lift the generator from the pallet by means of the lifting eye
on the top of the generator.
7. Inspect the generator carefully for freight loss or damage. If
loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, require that the
person making the delivery make note of the loss or
damage on the freight bill, or sign the consigner’s memo of
the loss or damage. Contact the carrier for claim proce-
dures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate the
damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
“Concealed damage” means damage to the contents of a
package which is not evident when the package is delivered by
the carrier, but which is discovered later. The carrier or carriers
are responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in transit. The
title to the goods rests with the consignee when the goods are
shipped FOB factory, and only the consignee can legally file
claims. Two years are allowed in which to file suit after a claim
is disallowed in writing by the carrier.
INSTALLATION
FOUNDATION MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a foundation if it is to be used as a
permanent or standby power source. See “TRAILER MOUNT-
ING” or “THREE POINT HITCH MOUNTING” if generator will
be used as a portable power source. When planning a founda-
tion consider the following points:
A. The foundation location should enable aligning the drive
shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly straight line be-
tween the power take-off and the generator input shaft. Mis-
alignment must be less than 10 degrees during generator
operation, even though the mechanical design of the tum-
bling bar would allow greater misalignment.
